DETERMINATION OF GLUCOSE SENSITIVITY AND A METHOD TO MANIPULATE BLOOD GLUCOSE CONCENTRATION

摘要

The invention provides a method of determining an individual's glucose metabolism sensitivity based upon the shape of a glucose profile in response to a stimulus, such as a caloric challenge. The sensitivity of an individual may be used to project a glucose response profile or to achieve a targeted response in the individual's blood glucose concentrations in response to a stimulus, such as medication, exercise, or caloric intake. An actual glucose response to a stimulus is determined using parameters that measure the shape of a glucose profile resulting from the stimulus. The glucose response provides rapid feedback of an individual's diabetic state.
